South of England events
Added at 19:07 on 21 September 2025
Thanks to everyone who has come to one or other of the Scottish launch events for The Lost Elms. There will be an event in Brighton (which has a really important elm story) at Waterstones, at 7pm on Monday 12 October. I hope that an event somewhere in London will also be possible while I am in the south of England - get in touch with me if you have an idea of somewhere that would like to host a reading from the book.
It is very exciting to learn that the book is being well-received - Independent non-fiction book of the month in July, Guardian book of the day on 23 July, Scotsman top of the summer outdoor books and a Bookseller book to watch. It has been nominated for a prize and seems to be finding appreciative readers, which is heart-warming.
